Male Female

Although I have lost many things in life, the most recent one I remember is my laptop charger. I am very protective about my things, even though I don't share them with my husband. It was during my final exam days while I was staying in the hostel. We were six or seven colleagues sharing a room with each other. I am quite sure that I used it before the last paper and kept it back in my bedside locker. We were all very excited because the exams were over, so we packed our luggage a day before the last paper. When we returned to the hostel after the exams, after the paper was finished, we all grabbed our bags and ran off home. When I reached home, I opened my stuff, and my charger was not there. I inquired with all of my colleagues, but no one had it, even though I asked the hostel warden. She replied that there was no charger in my bedside drawer. So I had lost it. It was very precious to me due to the battery storage issue of my laptop. Whenever I had to work, I had to plug it in. I had to plug in the power cable before I could do anything. I faced a lot of difficulties for a few days. Then I replaced it with a new one, but my previous charger was very good and charged my laptop in a very short time. The new one is very slow, so I blame myself for not being more careful about it.

So we all have packed our luggage a day before the last paper. When we returned back to hostel after the exams, after the paper is finished, we all grabbed our bag and ran off to home. When I reached home, I opened my stuff and my charger was not there. I inquired it from all of my colleagues but no one had it even though I asked from hostel warden.
